First, I would like to study three words that indicate what our Lord Jesus did when He died on the cross: redemption, reconciliation, and propitiation. These are words that any Christian knows, but what do they truly mean? Is it possible to understand their true meaning? I believe it is.
Second, I want to seek the answer to a frequently asked question: For whom did Christ die?
When someone asks, "For whom did Christ die?", we immediately realize that the answer depends on what the Lord did when He died. And in any case, what kind of action is atonement? We immediately come face to face with those three words—redemption, reconciliation, and propitiation—and the need to explain them.
